Estes Space Ship One, Kit # 2191, Build Part 6, Gluing On The Wings

The root edge of the wings are sanded at a 60 degree angle.

I set my block and fins over the instruction drawing for an angle reference.

Sand a bit and check, sand and check.

You can almost see the fin assembly jig under the body tube.

The wing sits on the two vertical arms of the jig.

The wing is glued with a 1" mark from the rear of the wing. The mark lines up with the tail cone / body tube joint.

Here you can see the 1" pencil mark at the joint.

The rear of the wing overhangs the tail cone and "floats". The instructions say not to apply a glue fillet on the extension.
